Golf-Q

You want to improve your swing? Watch yourself swinging! With this app you can find your mistakes and correct them yourself.

The way it works is very simple: The app gives you a life view with a delay of 5 seconds: You swing, then you watch your motion. Then you swing again and watch your motion again.

You don't have to press any buttons or any other steps to operate the app. It's like a mirror, but with the difference, that your mirror image is always delayed. The delay is configurable from 1 to 10 seconds.

Just watch yourself, what you did a couple of seconds ago. Swinging, driving or chipping.

Why did you call it Golf-Q?

The name originates from one of our other apps: CU-Q. "CU" is the abbreviation for "See you". The video runs through a queue for being delayed. That is were the "Q" comes from. The Golf-Q is the CU-Q application modified for golfers.

How can I fix my tablet on the floor?

There are plenty of stands for your prefered device (tablet or smartphone) available on the market. Often these stands are very fragil. Therefore we developed a stand for rough environments like the golf court.

Can I increase the resolution?

We want to make the video as smooth as possible on as much different devices as possible. The chosen resolution gives satisfying quality and is compatible with many different devices. Although we think it is sufficient for all uses cases, we are trying to support even higher resolutions in future versions.

How long does the battery last?

Golf-Q has to process high volumes of data. Furthermore, Golf-Q is often used outdoor, so the display brightness will be driven to the maximum. Both don't are good preconditions for a long lasting battery.

Here are some guideline values of battery life from selected popular devices at highest display brightness level. We discharged every device from 100% to 50%:

Why is the image jerking?

On some Android devices the image may sometimes jerk or even stand still for some seconds. That is not good and we are aware of this lack of quality. We are working hard to improve this behaviour in future versions. Nevertheless we think, that it is not affecting the use case the app is made for.
